Chile have been a pleasure to watch in this tournament as they have perhaps shown more growth in recent years than any other country. It is a tough draw for them in the Round of 16, having to face hosts Brazil, but they look organized and determined enough to present problems for any opponent. Gary Medel was questionable leading into this one and Arturo Vidal is still not fully fit, but both are starting. This team would all play on one leg right now, we should be in for a great match here. Sat, Jun 28, 2014 11:15:00 AM

Chile could not find the net against the Dutch and would eventually concede late on to lose their final group match 2-0, though they are still through to the knockout stage.

Chile wrapped Arturo Vidal in plastic and thankfully finish out their group phase without injury in a match they could afford to lose. What it does create is the task of facing the winners of Group A, who in all likelihood will be hosts Brazil. Gary Medel was instrumental yet again, seemingly getting a touch or twelve during every possession. Mon, Jun 23, 2014 02:06:00 PM

Even though the Chileans have incentive to win here to top the group, it is not enough apparently to warrant trotting out their leader Arturo Vidal, and it is probably a wise decision. Medel and Gonzalo Jara keep their places along with eight others. Mon, Jun 23, 2014 11:13:00 AM

Chile put the nail in the coffin of defending champions while simultaneously punching a ticket to the Round of 16 with a 0-2 win over Spain.

Chileans were licking their chops for a crack at a Spain side that were still licking their wounds, so much so that Chilean fans were breaking down walls to get in and see it. Gary Medel once again played center back and was part of a stone wall that Spain could not penetrate. Chile now advance along with The Netherlands to the knockout stage, with a head to head matchup left to play to determine their seedings. Wed, Jun 18, 2014 05:11:00 PM
